Where has this summer gone? It's nearly over, and I don't think I've posted but two or three times!

The grandchildren have had a busy summer. Madison and Caden have both been on fun vacations with their families, and have been involved in various summer activities throughout the summer--including VBS and swimming lessons.

Chase has spent his first summer learning how to navigate. He's gone from rolling to pulling up. He can scoot, but hasn't quite gotten the hang of crawling yet. I suspect it won't be long, and he'll be trying to keep up with the other kids. It seems as if he's growing up more quickly than the others.

Summer is nearly over, and soon Madison will be beginning her second year at "Busy Little Beavers". She'll be attending their newly-formed Kindergarten class. She'll be attending school five mornings a week, instead of four. She's lucky that she's already familiar with her teacher and her surroundings. I hope it will be a happy and productive school year for Madison.

Caden will be enjoying another year at home, in the company of his mom and little brother. He won't turn four until December, so he still has some time...He started attending "Storytime" at the library over the summer. "Storytime" is when the librarian reads several books out loud, all with a common theme, then follows up with a craft project. She also teaches the children a few "wiggles songs".

I'm so happy that my grandchildren have been able to spend all of their early years at home with their mothers. What a blessing for them! I don't regret a single day that I spent at home with my own children. Time passes too quickly, and children are just too precious give up, until you don't have a choice!

I haven't posted here as regular as I once did. I keep telling myself that I need to get back into the routine of posting regularly, but the truth is--I just don't have the time and energy anymore. What a difference a year or two can make when you are older, especially when you have health issues! It takes me twice as long to do half as much as I used to do :) Gotta' love growing older. Until next time, here are a few grandchildren pictures...

A collection of "mini tales" written by a person referred to as "MiMi". These little tales are the interesting, sometimes funny, little moments that "MiMi" witnesses in the everyday lives of her grandchildren as they are growing up.
